🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for kids aged 5 and up through adults who enjoy visual puzzles, trick photography, and interactive art. The hands-off policy on exhibits — strictly enforced — suits families who can manage younger children around displayed pieces. Older kids and teens get the most out of the optical illusion challenges.
